With the process of globalization gaining momentum, the intensity of competitiveness seems to permeate into every sphere of life. The growing competition in all the spheres has forced the education institutions like universities, schools, colleges etc. to reconsider the system they have. It has been imperative for the academicians to redefine learning and improvise the learning activities in such a way that it suits the demands of the modern times?

There was a time when people emphasized on scholarly studies, but with the passage of time the mentality and exigencies of education have taken a twist. Today the learning and training activities are being reshaped and made fit to be compatible with the changing scenarios in all the aspects of life.

Today these appear revolutionary, creating a swift change in terms of managing the courses and directing them towards productivity.

Changing the definition of learning

Why should someone spend their precious years of life in schools and colleges? Why should anyone undertake a particular course of study? The ultimate aim is of course a bright and interesting career with wider growth prospects.

Gone are the days when learning used to be for the sake of learning. Any learning activities or courses that fail to lead you to a career have got less value today. Nobody likes to undertake a course of study that does not produce any imminent productivity. Furthermore, due to the growth of business enterprises around the world, the practical aspects of learning have become quite compelling. Today the transcending trend is to establish an equilibrium between the theory classes and practical sessions. The theoretical concepts must emphasize their practical aspects in some way or the other.

Transforming mentality of students, faculties and administrators

There were times in the past when the students had no say in the process of learning. The students listened to their mentors and teachers without saying a word, irrespective of their admission to what they heard. Today the mentality looks drastically different. The students, faculties and administrators all agree that the learning sessions should be quite interactive and any doubts or questions should be discussed threadbare. There seems to relevant emphasis on interactive learning and truly speaking, this is what is the demand and necessity of the time.

How should the learning courses be managed?

• Very often the administrators and academicians are in confusion about how they should manage the learning courses.
• In due time, people will begin pondering over such matters, learning to innovate in a noble way.
• The trend today exhibits changing strains.
• Learning activities are being made interesting through the application of different audio visual devices and technology.
• The academic institutions and academicians themselves are in competition with one another.
• The learning courses should be managed in such a way that they become productive, to both the faculties and students while the administrators must keep their senses open to facilitate better management of courses.

With learning activities turning competitive, it is significant that the learning courses be managed according to the demands of time.
